Alberta Horseback Mountain Mule Deer – Spot and Stalk

This horseback mountain mule deer hunt takes place in western Alberta with a long-time outfitter who grew up in the area. The outfitter and his team are committed to scouting and finding a good representative mule deer. We recommend this hunt for those who want to experience a true mountain horseback hunt from a wall tent camp with incredible scenery. While the population of mule deer isn’t as high as areas to the south, the experience of the hunt and the quality of bucks make up for it. A representative buck will be a mature buck (3×3 or 4×4) scoring 150″+ with much larger bucks harvested almost every season.

Upon your arrival, you’ll drive 3–4 hours to the trailhead and then depart with saddle horses and pack horses for a 3–4 hour ride to the hunting camp. Hunting camp consists of comfortable wall tents with cots and wood stoves. Your day is spent riding and hiking, and spot-and-stalk hunting for a trophy buck. There are a lot of open grassy mountain meadows and burns where these big bucks feed. We only take five hunters all season with one hunter on an early season September hunt, followed by four hunters on the November rut hunt, two hunters in two separate camps.  This is a great choice for a couple of buddies.  #603
